    It makes sense for Chinese smartphone OEMs to move away from the Google version of Android. In the medium to long term you are setting up yourself for failure if you are reliant on an American company.

    Unfortunately, the United States cannot be trusted.

      It’s not like China can be trusted either. This is a matter of not relying on your adversary.

        Sure, but with China everyone more less knew this. The US has used up the last benefit of the doubt that they had in the past 5 months.

        What exactly are you talking about? China has at no point in my lifetime exerted economic violence or taken violent policy turns towards harming other economies. They’ve been a reliable trading partner since they opened up to trade in the Deng Xiaoping/Nixon years, and done absolutely nothing remotely comparable to the US tariffs of recent (or economic embargoes to “enemy” countries like Venezuela).

          I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic here. I hope you are. If not a quick search on Wikipedia would show China’s aggressive behaviour towards its neighbouring countries.

            Are you aware that Wikipedia is predominantly edited by western males below 50 years of age using western media as sources for information?

            If there was an online encyclopedia predominantly edited by Chinese users using Chinese news sources, would you take it at face value when discussing geopolitically-charged topics about the USA? May I remind you that the US has military bases in Philippines, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea?

            Regardless of your opinion on this, if you read my previous comment again, you’ll notice I’m talking about economic violence.
